Buona festa di Santa Lucia a tutti! 🍭🍫🍬🍭🍫🍬
Quick facts. St. Lucia is popular among children in some regions of North-Eastern Italy, Trentino, East Lombardy (Bergamo, Brescia, Cremona, Lodi and Mantua), parts of Veneto, (Verona), parts of Emilia-Romagna, (Piacenza, Parma, Reggio Emilia and Bologna), and all of Friuli, where she is said to bring gifts to good children and coal to bad ones the night between 12 and 13 December. According to tradition, she arrives in the company of a donkey and her escort, Castaldo. Children are asked to leave some coffee for Lucia, a carrot for the donkey and a glass of wine for Castaldo. They must not watch Santa Lucia delivering these gifts, or she will throw ashes in their eyes, temporarily blinding them.

Lunch today was lamb kofta made with minced lamb from my local butcher mixed with onion, garlic, cumin from zest and zing spices chilli flakes, fresh parsley, fresh mint and dry oregano served on a flatbread with halloumi and Greek tzatziki. Fantastic little lunch, just wish I was sat in the sun on a Greek island with a cold beer instead of cold Rochdale 😂 I tried to load these photos earlier today but for some reason it wasn’t letting me do it.

I’ve come to really enjoy the powerful flavors of Indian food. Last night I had the pleasure of trying @tanjoreusa and let me tell you it was fantastic. The diverse flavors of cumin, coconut and curry made for savory dishes. The naan bread was the best I’ve ever tasted. I’m naan lying. #indianfood 👉🏼#laugheatdrink

If you love #pho , get over to @thecurehb for their excellent Duck (Breast) & Rice (Noodle). I love the flavors and surprising dishes at this eclectic #HuntingtonBeach restaurant—the Whole Crispy Fish and killer bao buns are favorites. Check ‘em out, they’re one of a kind in #OC !

Breakfast is served!
@traderjoes butternut squash zigzags tossed with salt as well as TJ's avocado oil and lemon pepper then baked for 15mins. Veggie scramble of onions, tomatoes and Tuscan kale from TJ's cooked in ghee with a little goat cheese also from TJ's. Basically this whole dish is from @traderjoes lol. Blackberries on the side. Ghee and goat cheese are controversial paleo ingredients, but I think it's ok for me once in awhile.
